The Fukaura Agricultural and Fishery Product Processing Plant manufactures the products under the name of “Snow Carrot Series” that use the carrots. In addition to the four products of dressing, jam, pasta sauce and potage currently being sold, the plant also produced primary processed products, including pastes, powders and diced cuts for commercial use.
Yoshihiko Shimamoto, the plant manager who is responsible for product development, told us that the key is to use steam to heat the carrots.
By heating the snow carrots for 9 to 10 minutes at a temperature of 100°C, he claims the Fukaura Snow Carrots can retain their distinct sweetness and maximum flavor compared to boiling them.
